"Metal spalling is a process of metallic surface failure in which the metal is broken down into small flakes (spalls) from a larger solid body. This process occurs for many reasons, such as when another material impacts it at a high speed resulting in chipping the material, or due to corrosion, weathering, cavitation or excessive rolling pressure."

Can you please put that in layman's language? Are you saying normal wear and tear since I used to race and bang the gears?

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

It's worn out Not unusual if it was ran low on lube or had sit a long time I've seen that on the tip of a output shaft, I ended up having a old time aircraft machinest weld it up with stelite rod and turn it back down to size and ran it Not sure if that is the solution for that gear or not, probably not

I think if it was mine I would call Brewers and ask if anyone has a sleave to repair that. Already did. No. Brewers and Passon Perf doesn't have any. I'm looking for a new one and nobody has any.

I think if it was mine I would call Brewers and ask if anyone has a sleave to repair that. You may have to go to a precision machine shop in your area to look at it. I wonder if you could take a cut out in the bearing to remove the damage and go with slightly larger rolling elements. I'd worry about a sleeve on the inside as it may weaken the tube some. Though looking at the pictures, there is a lot of meat there. So a sleeve properly installed could work. But I think that repair is beyond most automotive restoration and machine shops. I think you are into high end industrial repair shops. Hopefully the cost doesn't outweigh the replacement.

Try Brian at SK speed in Lindenhurst, NY. You might be very surprised. Will call. Thanks. No dice on SK speed. Brian is a lot of knowledge. He said to put it back together until I find one. There were no problems except for a little popping out of first gear. That's not related to the cluster gear.

I got a bunch of Nos 833 stuff from him over the years and his collection was staggering. The popping out of gear is most likely angle worn dog teeth on the gear, as he probably told you. Did you ask if he had an nos 1 st gear?

Here's a thought ... install a bronze bushing in there (just that one location - not the whole cluster) and run thinner lube in the trans. No way in the world would I even think of putting needle bearings in the cluster gear against a bronze bushing, no way I don't know what exactly the heat treat is on those gears and the other gears in the NP833 but I'll bet they are really hard, same thing on the needles bearings and roller bearings I would look into seeing if there is a material good enough to make a repair insert( that would have to be press in with the proper interference fit to keep it from spinning when hot) in it though OP, your pursuing the best bet,, a new NOS gear What does the cluster gear shaft look like on that end?

I think a bronze bushing is the most practical solution, not needle bearings on the bronze bushing but a bushing directly on the shaft. The gears are case hardened so boring the gear would involve grinding rather than boring with a tool bit.

No way in the world would I even think of putting needle bearings in the cluster gear against a bronze bushing, no way WHERE did I say anything about needle bearings ?!?!? Install a bronze bushing in that one location INSTEAD OF needle bearings - it saves the cluster at least !!

The gear shaft does not too bad. Just some wear. I ordered a new shaft anyway. The tranny has a new 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear in it already from my last rebuilt 15 years ago. They look excellent. He said the popping/sliding out of 1st is probably something else. I also have a new 1-2 hub assembly. It's going to be put back together with the new shaft and 1-2 hub assembly and wait until I find a cluster gear.
